Documents

Cloud-based document storage with folder structure, permissions, and bulk upload.

What Is the Documents Module?

The Documents module provides unlimited cloud-based storage for all project-related files. It organizes documents in a familiar folder structure and includes granular permission controls.

Why It Matters

  • Centralized Storage — no more searching through emails, drives, and text messages
  • Version Control — always know which version of a document is current
  • Access Control — control who can see, share, and download specific files
  • Automatic Organization — system folders are created automatically for module outputs

Features

File/Folder Structure

Documents are organized in a virtual file system:

  • Create nested folders to organize by category, phase, or trade
  • Drag and drop files into folders
  • Rename, move, and delete files and folders
